Installation and initial startup
BlueShadow Detector 50D Instructions V7659
4.4 Inserting the flow cell
The supply configuration of this detector only includes a test cell (dummy
cell), which does not have connections for solvent . It is used, for example,
to check the lamp intensity, as a dirty flow cell could distort this value .
Before using the device with solvents, the test cell must, therefore, be
removed, and a flow cell must be installed .
The optical path length has been set (optional for special flow cells) .
The device has been switched off .
The power supply has been disconnected .

Pull out the slide with the flow
cell

towards the front .
3.
Remove the flow cell upward .
4.
Position the new flow cell on
top of the slide . Keep holding
the flow cell . Because of the
small, drilled hole on the flow
cell (see figure 4), the cell fits
to the detector only when
oriented correctly .
5.
Push the slide back into the
detector .
6.
Screw the knurled-head
screws back into the cover
plate
